After the game, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor expressed his frustration in a postgame interview posted on the team’s website: “Frustrating. We didn’t envision ourselves in this spot, but here we are. We’ve got to own it. We have to take accountability in all areas. I knew that that was going to be a difficult football team (to beat). I saw what they did last week on offense — they scored on every possession last week (and) they scored on every possession this week. I knew that was a dangerous team, and they were ready for us, and they made more plays than we did today.”
